Hello everyone, I am Lisa and I am Marilee's daughter.

As many of you know, we have been caring so hard for the last few months for our incredible, wonderfully talented, and loving mom, and she has now lost her fight with her joy of living. She loved life so much and loved all of her children, grandchildren, and friends so dearly. Her love of art, storytelling, and of Neil Diamond will forever be in our hearts.

We would love to give our mom as fabulous of a celebration of life as we possibly can. She didn't have much, so it leaves us in a tough position to have to ask for help. Even if you cannot donate, we would love any memories or stories of her to help us through our time of grief. Regardless, we will celebrate her somehow, no matter what.

We have been told that many have asked to contribute, so please share with those that have mentioned. My brothers, Scott, Todd, John, and myself feel so grateful to know that she had so many friends that loved her so. She fought a good fight. Now she can always kiss the joy as it flies.

After many days of trying to find somewhere to do a celebration of life, lent keeps getting in the way so we will be celebrating mom at my brother Todd and his family home on April 12th between 11-4. Please reach out to us for address and details
